Victimless crimes?

I doubt you’ll hear anyone saying that porn is a victimless crime for at least a few days.

Carol and I saw the news about the kidnapping the other day, and I offered a prayer that the boy would be found. Praise God that he was.

I haven’t seen many details of the case. But I would wager that the first time that Michael Devlin used porn, his master plan was not to become a nationally known kidnapper. But when we misuse our sexuality, it takes us places we’d never choose or want to wind up.

I’ve never heard anyone say, “I’m sure glad that I ignored the Bible’s teaching on sexuality.” But when Michael Devlin did just that, he didn’t ruin his own life. He also damaged two boys, two sets of parents and countless others.

Please keep these families in your prayers, and please pray that our nation will stop pretending that we can deny God’s purposes for sex and still be happy, healthy people.
